I had a comment to one of my posts.. it wasn’t relevant to the post at all and my spam catcher had marked it as spam. I was a little perturbed as to what to do.. because the question is one I would love to answer… but I’m not giving spam space to anyone on my blog!!

If it wasn’t spam then I do apologise.. here is your question and my answer.

What Are The Advantages of Winpatrol 2007 Version.

Winpatrol 2007 is a program that sits in your system tray and unobtrusively monitors what is happening on your PC.

WinPatrol uses a heuristic behavioural approach to detecting attacks and violations of your computing environment. Traditional security programs scan your hard drive searching for previously identified threats. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge. You’ll be removing dangerous new programs while others prepare to update their definition/signature data files

But it is so much more, you can check out what programs are loading at startup, Winpatrol will even give you information to help you make the decision as to whether you really need that progam to load on startup.

With the 2007 version came a new feature called Delayed Start, you can boost your start up time by putting programs here that you do use… but that don’t have to be loaded on startup.

It will tell you about your IE Helpers or Addons, it will tell you what Scheduled tasks and Services you have running along with Active Tasks. You can manage your cookies and get info about your file types and hidden files. If you check out the options tab then it will give you some useful logs too.

Best of all… Winpatrol 2007 is provided fully functional for free!!! There is a Plus version which I would heartily recommend, you can see the difference between Winpatrol Free and Winpatrol Plus here

There is a download and installation guide here, and you can check out the press release here.

Finally… Bill Pytlovany is one of the nicest people I know and he is passionate about what he does.  I for one wouldn’t be without Scotty sitting in my task bar… and I hope you wouldn’t either.
